Imageready’s Supercharged Eyedropper
In previous versions of Photoshop, you could only use the Eyedropper tool to sample a color from other open images in Photoshop, but for some reason, ImageReady had a supercharged Eyedropper. If you clicked the mouse button within your image and held it down, you could leave your image window and sample colors from, well… just about anything—including your computer desktop or any other open application. Freaky! Fortunately, Adobe finally added this same power to Photoshop’s Eyedropper tool.

That was another great one Corey. I liked both of them, but the first one would be great for people who do scrapbooking. They could take the persons name and scatter it like that and set the picture of the person on top of it. I am gonna go do that for my neice right now. Thanks Corey!
